Okay, I know I have been missing the last couple of weeks. It’s been tough! First I caught a cold and now I apparently have tonsillitis! Thankfully I have had some time to recover from both and am hopefully at the end of the tonsillitis. Moving on…

Yesterday was the perfect fall weather for Elizabeth and Justin’s engagement photos. Although they are planning a spring wedding, Elizabeth told me that she really wanted to have colorful fall photos. I’m looking forward to their wedding in June. Here are a few of my favorites:

The other day I headed out to Carytown for an engagement session with Ainoy and Daniel. Though they claimed to be nervous in front of the camera, these two are total naturals! They are such a vibrant couple; it was so great capturing their big smiles and love for each other. The dreary weather definitely did not put out their positive attitude and humor. Plus, how can you go wrong with a couple when they WANT to run through traffic and pose with Hello Kitty…and get in trouble for it?

A few from the day:

I love this moment:

This is definitely one of my favorites:

Thanks Ainoy & Daniel! I’m excited to be a part of your big day!

I must admit I get a bit nervous when other photographers ask me to take photos of them! This last year has been a really great opportunity for me to get to know and work with different photographers, especially with David and Kristy. It’s been a pleasure to get to know them on both a professional and personal level.

Earlier this week, I met up with the two of them to get a fun session (well, minus the mosquitoes that came out and the ants that ran up and down arms and legs!).

Ooh la la! Showing a little leg action here:

I really like the green in here and the pop of the pink:

The lovely Kristy:

Thanks to you both! I am looking forward to our next plans!

I had a great time yesterday at Maymont with Dave and Sarah. Although there was some concern that rain might come around, luckily we had a beautiful afternoon for their engagement pictures. I love how their sense of humor came out into play in the end and we had a few good laughs from throwing water bottles, laying down in mystery turds and braving spiderwebs.

David was a true gentleman in helping me down a huge step…plus his humor is infectious. Sarah was so sweet and I love love love her beautiful eyes. They are both definitely keepers.

Some of my favorite photos from the day:

Thanks you two! You know it is a good day when you get a hug at the end of the session! I look forward to capturing your wedding next month.

Amy and Karl contacted me last year about potentially photographing their wedding…until they decided to get married in Taiwan! Since their wedding will be overseas, they decided to have me photograph their small civil ceremony here in the States next month. Our photo session yesterday was part of their invitation preparation for their overseas wedding.

It’s hilarious because the weather said that it would be a high of 60 degrees with sunshine in the afternoon…and we were working in probably 50 degree weather and very cloudy skies. The sun did sort of peep through at the end which was both welcome and ironic. Amy and Karl did great in the finicky weather and kept laughing the whole way through.

Thanks you two! Looking forward to your ceremony.
